Notes:
1. Pre-veterinary students may select a major in general science or any other discipline while completing the admission requirements for veterinary school. Scientific disciplines such as biology, microbiology, zoology, or animal science are most frequently chosen, but areas outside of science are also acceptable.

2. A student who is accepted into a veterinary school after three years of pre-professional work, can apply up to 48 credits of the first year of professional student towards completion of a bachelor's degree in biology, general science, or zoology from OSU.

3. Completion of a bachelor's degree is required before one can receive a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Additional Requirements:
1. Students who are not completing the AAOT will be required to meet OSU’s Baccalaureate Core requirements. Please refer to the Baccalaureate Equivalency link below for these requirements.

2. In addition to the Baccalaureate Core requirements, students must meet the requirements for the BA/BS degree. Requirements for the BA degree differ significantly from those for a BS degree in the same department. Many departments offer only one or the other of the two baccalaureate degrees. Check departmental curricula for detailed information. The BA degree requires foreign language proficiency equivalent to that attained at the end of the second year course in the language.

3. For transfer admission, OSU requires completion of 36 transfer credits with a minimum 2.25 GPA and completion of Wr 121 and Math 111.

NOTE: University requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with RCC advisers or counselors and their transfer institution to ensure the accuracy of their academic plan.
